Dundee Road to close for Metra track work

April 23, 2004

WHEELING — Commuters who use Dundee Road will need to find an alternative route for two weeks beginning at 6 a.m. Tuesday.

Metra will close the major thoroughfare for construction at the railroad crossing near Northgate Parkway until May 11, weather permitting. The construction is part of Metra's capital improvement plan, which calls for double tracking of the railway through Antioch.
